Arnold Schwarzenegger is a legend in Hollywood, with no special acting training, but he is one of the mainstream Hollywood movie stars. After rising in the bodybuilding world, his muscular body and steely muscles were considered the perfect choice for thrilling action movies.
Conan the Barbarian
And Arnold's most classic screen image is the semi-mechanical, half-flesh killer in the "Conan the Barbarian" series and the Terminator series of movies, the former made him famous, and his "Conan" image became the prototype of "Seaman" in the famous American animation series "Seaman the Giant of the Universe" (give me strength, I am Seaman!). The latter made him a household name, becoming a Hollywood super-action superstar.
It is worth mentioning that Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully ran for governor of California in 2003 and entered politics. He stepped down on 3 January 2011 for a seven-year term.
